Cozy cowl

We are halfway through the week my friends! And since it isn't too frigid out yet, I'm doing another skirt. Actually it's one of my favorite dresses to wear as a skirt. I thought it would look cute with this awesome sweater that I got for Christmas from my sister-in-law.

It's funny, when I opened up my gift from her and saw that this was sort of a turtleneck sweater I looked at her like "don't you know me at all? I never wear turtlenecks!" Because usually I don't, I tend to feel choked. My mom and I think we were both hung in a former life. Anyway, after I pulled this sweater out of the box I realized it was more of a cowl neck and that it would be nice and loose fitting around my neck. So, I actually love it quite a bit!

How about you? Do you like to wear turtlenecks or are you like me and can't handle things by your neck? What is your favorite type of sweater?

Ooh! I love cowlnecks and turtlenecks. They feel cozy to me for some reason. This sweater is gorgeous and I love it layered over the dress. This would look great with your red jeans and those boots :) Heather

hi Bethie! I would love to have that cowl neck sweater or a turtleneck too. I don't feel uncomfortable in them. You cracked me up when you said that in a former life you must have been hanged. I burst-ed out with laughter.

Thank you for your honest opinion about the fav mountain photo. That is very independent of you, Ms. Bethie. That is what I love about you.

I can't bring to mind something I don't like to wear. Oh perhaps a girdle or anything tooo tight, but turtlenecks are ok. Oh you know what? I had a turtleneck sweater I got at Savers last year and it was tooooo tight. I gave it back to Savers. hahaha

OMG Beth! I used to be petrified of anything/anyone touching my neck. I don't know why but I would just scream and freeze and curl up in a ball in pure terror. it was bad. I've gotten better though and I will occasionally wear a turtleneck but not too often. you look great, friend!

Cowl necks are heavenly those of us who feel choked! Maybe I was hung in a previous life, but I can't stand anything tight. I've gotten better since starting anti-anxiety meds, they seem to make my skin less sensitive and tense, but I still find myself tearing tight necks away after a few hours.
